Broken Drive Shaft

Ha ha! I got a broken drive shaft today after some serious driving of banging here and there on a tarmac road at BR field.

No worries, i zoom striaght down to Tai Seng to get a pair of them for $20+ and have it repaired. Pretty easy as long as you have the tools.

Here are some picts.

Broken Drive Shaft

Sorry, here they are

Got new HPI shocks with Black (Hard) Springs

Since i am going to do some repair work to the drive shaft, i proceed to do the following as well;

1) Took out the 2nd hand HPI shocks that i got from a friend.
2) Service the shocks by cleaning them and changing oil.
3) Remove the original shocks from E-zilla.
4) Match the orignal spring to HPI shocks.
5) Fixed them onto the E-zilla.

Here are some picts as well..

OH, BTW today i tested the top speed for the E-zilla, it managed to clock 70KM/h on 2 runs. I will test the new shocks setup agan tomorrow and see if i can clock better top speed with better handling now. My only worry now is harder shocks means minimal damping means easier wheelies.

Cheers
Cool

You should have replaced the shafts with emaxx aluminium ones since ur at it.(first step to fully blinged truck! ) Those shocks look VERY expensive! At this rate, by the time i get my savage, ur truck will be aluminium! How did you clock the speed?

I have extracted the information from this thread.

Conclusion is that a good replacement for ezilla drive shafts is this

cuz it's cheap and they say it does not break as ezly but it twists.
They also advice ppl to get this

You can always repair a drive shaft if you have 2 broken ones!

Thks for the compliment heehee. Yes, quite a lot of wrk to be done at the bumper portion because the design of the bumper between zilla n savage is different. So need to cut slot n the zilla bumper to ensure that the wheelie bar has anchor point for mounting it.

This thread will come in handy as a building n modding info thread for new e-zilla owners heehee.

I'll continue to update my projects here.

You could have considered CVDs (if there's such options) Longer lasting.
